QUICK TAKE: The package is soOo cute but a bit of a waste. The box is huge considering how much smaller the tube of product is.USAGE TIPS: The product needs to be pat onto the skin gently or else it will disturb your makeup.THE VERDICT: Skin perfectors seem to be making its way into the beauty world and this one shouldn't go unnoticed. I was a bit skeptical at first, but Indeed Laboratories' Nanoblur ($20) exceeded my expectations. It's easy to apply and can be used in a variety of ways. It really does blur fine lines and wrinkles and diminish pores. You can tell when you're applying it, but you can see the difference in photos. I'm obsessed with how well this cream works, and I appreciate nanotechnology in beauty even more now! Watch the video to see my full review and demo of this product!

QUICK TAKE: I thought the packaging looked sophisticated and the product was well-presented.USAGE TIPS: Use as directed. Primer goes on before makeup. Perfector goes on after makeup.THE VERDICT: Wow! I'm blown away by the
performance of both the YSL Touche Eclat Blur Primer (full size - $52) & Blur Perfector ($55). I cannot stop looking at how flawless
and airbrushed my skin looks. The
primer is formulated with gold micro flecks of shimmer that illuminates your
face and it also softens and smooths the skin. It reflects light in all the right places and blurs where
it's necessary. It also smells very soft and pretty. The perfector is a
balm to powder makeup finisher and is great for setting makeup. It can also be used as a touch up
throughout the day. It mattifies
without making my skin look caking or dry and it blurs my skin imperfections to
give my face a soft focused, air brushed look. I can't stop raving about this product and I highly
recommend it. I know it's expensive but go buy it! You won't regret it.

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing and purposes.
All opinions are honest and my own.

QUICK TAKE: My Influenster #IDoVoxbox included the CoverGirl Outlast Luminous Foundation in Medium Beige (~$11) and the CoverGirl Outlast Longwear + Moisture Lipstick in Fireball (~$8). The foundation looks shimmery in the bottle, so I was a bit concerned about that. I didn't want to look like a pre-teen who was experimenting with glitter makeup. The lip color appears to be of a red-orange shade which could look really great or really terrible on me.USAGE TIPS: Apply the foundation with a stipple brush and blend with a dampened Beauty Blender sponge if need be. I only use a stipple brush, because I don't want to remove the micro flecks of gold shimmer that is in the foundation. Apply the lipstick with a gentle hand, because it's super pigmented. A lip brush helps a lot.THE VERDICT: I love CoverGirl and their products! Both the foundation and lipstick are reasonably priced for the drugstores and I definitely think they're worth the money. The foundation is easy to use and looks great on my skin. I think it performs really well and is one of the best drugstore foundations I have ever used. The lipstick is just as punchy as I thought it would be and I love it! The red-orange shade complements my medium skin tone quite well. Watch the video to see my full review and demo of the products!
